"When Kafka Walked...: A Memoir" is the recollections of Franz Kafka's friends, relatives and acquaintances. These words are sometimes surprising and sometimes contradictory, but together they form a colorful picture. This book attempts to reveal the true face of this mysterious writer through the perspectives of Kafka's relatives and friends. The editor-in-chief of this book, Hans-Gerd Koch, carefully selected articles that reflected Kafka's personality and real life, while excluding those accounts that were too self-centered or inconsistent with the facts. The characteristic of this book is that it is not only a reproduction of Kafka's life, but also an exploration of his personality. Through these articles, readers can get a glimpse of Kafka's inner world and his complex relationship with the people around him.
